Well, one thing is for sure – her career would have had a very different direction. Kristen Stewart is the living proof – after playing Bella in the movie saga, she instantly became one of Hollywood’s most discussed and famous actresses.

Bella or no Bella, she’s proven herself as a gifted actress thanks to the infamous Georgina Sparks in ‘Gossip Girl’ and Buffy’s innocent little sister.
